After much praying and handing out tracts we finally started our first service. We were very excited and had many churches,family members and co-workers come and encourage us. We had Pastor and Mrs. Tharp come and that was encouraging especially since they had their fall carnival going on at Central Valley Baptist Church. Pastor and Mrs. Fong from Heritage Baptist Church in San Leandro along with a group of girls who sang some special songs for us. Pastor and Mrs. Chantigian from Hopewell Baptist Church in Alameda came with some help for me also in the nursery, that was a blessing. Then their was Pastor Strouf and Bro. Ortiz. We had a total of 49 people that day. The Lord also had blessed us with two families that are willing and ready to serve. They sing, play piano and are always ready to go soul winning.
Since the service started we have had a bible study at our house with the ladies and this weekend Golden State Baptist College had a group of college students come and help us with getting some more tracts out. We had a good response, which led to the woman who came today.
As the holidays approach I am praying it will lead more people to come and visit . We are very thankful for all of the prayers from everyone.
